Everything individual about them had vanished j they were no longer soldiers; they were the abstract warrior, the warrior of every age and every clime, Roman or Cymri, Greek or Mede, and they might have figured without fear of anachronism in the battles of Alexander or Caesar just as they stood. Their horses, with their simple harness, wet with sweat, white with lather, had no modern peculiarity, and presented merely a character of antique generality.
I gazed upon these splendid horsemen, regre...tting that there was no painter of genius to note with swift 249 PARIS BESIEGED stroke the handsome lines, naturally and artlessly heroic, and also to sketch the no less interesting types of cap- tives, turned into barbaric prisoners, Dacians, Getse, Heruli, Abari, such as are seen on the bassi-relievi of triumphal arches and the spirals of columns of Trajan.
They had no special dress indicative of a nationality or an epoch ; their trousers, blouses, or shirts, rumpled, torn, tattered, clinging to the bodies with perspiration, merely concealed their nudity, but did not clothe them, and had preserved no special form of garment j and in such a condition, blouses, smock-frocks, cloaks, and tunics are all very much alike, while breeches are, in the sculptures of antiquity, the distinctive mark of barbarians.
